Ekta Jain, Rudy Lussiez, Stephane Molotchnikoff This is a preprint; it has not been peer reviewed by a journal. https://doi.org/ 10.21203/rs.3.rs-4438891/v1 This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 License Status: Posted Version 1 posted You are reading this latest preprint version Abstract The phenomenon of neuronal orientation selectivity, which refers to the capacity to efficiently react to a preferred orientation, has been widely observed in visual cortex. This selectivity serves as the underlying framework for cortical organization and the development of functional networks. While traditionally considered fixed in the mature brain, recent studies have explored plasticity in adult V1 by modifying orientation selectivity through visual adaptation which is achieved by presenting non-preferred orientation for several minutes. Orientation selectivity arises from the spatial clustering of synapses that have distinct preferences onto a dendritic branch. Our investigation was carried out through electrophysiological recordings which were done on CD-1 female mouse (9-11 weeks). The analysis was done on 85 cells recorded from 6 mice. Our research aims to ascertain whether antibiotics impact orientation selectivity by spine formation. Anisomycin, inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with peptidyl transferase activity in eukaryotic ribosomes. Our data has demonstrated a change in preferred selectivity of orientation following visual adaptation which induces a shift of preferred orientation. The detection of polyribosomes within the spines suggests that protein synthesis takes place directly within the postsynaptic compartment. Dendritic protein synthesis plays a role in stabilizing recently inserted glutamate receptors, thereby contributing to excitatory synaptic transmission in the spines. Application of Anisomycin can therefore impede the morphogenesis of dendritic spines and the associated receptors, consequently blocking neuronal communication. Our results demonstrate that the application of antibiotics prevented a shift in the preferred orientation after adaptation suggesting a hindrance to the formation of new spines. Moreover, the antibiotic also interfered with the association between orientation selectivity and the change in preferred orientation. This suggests that Anisomycin application disrupts the transmission of signals among neurons. Our results show that optimal orientation selectivity depends on spine cluster activity.
